Had an opportunity this morning to run some errands, and heard my favorite radio host, Dennis Prager (I like that he's respectful to just about everyone). As most everybody on radio is doing, he has something to say about the current situation. His basic stance, if I can remember right, was that the lock-down is the biggest hoax perpetuated on mankind so far. He thinks the virus itself is real, and that some measures were prudent, but the
extreme economic lock-down has been a huge overreach that has caused much more damage than it's worth. If I understand him right, he's saying some measures were good and certain things are fine to keep practicing (like prudent social distancing & other common-sense precautions), but
the extreme economic results will have a much bigger, longer lasting negative impact than the virus effects itself.
He further said that Marxists are besides themselves with glee over this global pandemic. This is because they finally see a wonderful opportunity to bring down capitalism, and bring in strong, centralized, socialistic government. As Rahm Emanuel is attributed as saying (quoting Machiavelli in part):
“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. It’s an opportunity to do things you could not do before.” 
So whatever you believe - the lock-down measures went way too far OR the lock-down measures aren't going far enough - I'm not so concerned about that. (And I'm not concerned about which political party you think is mainly to blame for whatever problem.)
But do you believe that this pandemic will have gone far in "softening us up" and will be a rallying cry for a long time (for example, "Remember what happened when government didn't do enough during COVID-19?!"), to bring in really BIG government measures? And not just on a national level, but could this be a key stimulus to eventually bring everything under worldwide control?
